If this was Corbyn, Starmer, Davey, Rayner, Burnham, etc etc, the media would relentlessly pursue this until they were hounded out of office pretty quickly (see Corbyn and the antisemitism accusations…) - but for some reason, Farage’s antisemitism, Islamophobia, and Russian links mean nothing… 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄😒

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Trump’s so-called "peace plan" is a blueprint for Russian victory. Forcing Ukraine to surrender any territory under threat is not diplomacy—it’s appeasement that guarantees future conflict. We must not reward Putin’s aggression with Ukrainian land.

Hmmm - so tacking hard right on immigration led the Danish equivalent of Labour to lose the capital city for the first time in a century to a “Green-Left” party?

And all the seats on London’s borough councils are up next May? Including the progressive packed ones held by Labour for generations?
